Sounds of Summer at Reston Town Center

A crowd gathers at the Reston Town Center pavilion before the July 6 Concert on the Town.

In spite of the summer heat, the Reston Town Center free summer concerts still prove to be quite the draw for locals. The concert on July 6 was no exception as crowds gathered at the Town Center’s pavilion and went as far back as the fountain for the evening’s entertainment: David Akers and the Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra.
